coil-on-plug ignition coils interchangable ?
This is not a car thing tbh but a bike thing.
My coils on my triumph have a large crack on one and a small crack on an other.
They are coil-on-plug type.
Will this short out?
can i just insulate them (tape, insulation heat shrink)
I have a few other sets the same physical size and the same resistance (1.3 ohms) on the ht side. Can this cause any problems using these. They are
a different denso part number.
Can coils be changed from bike to bike? if so, why have different part numbers ?
I could always buy a new set, but at £70 each times 3, its too steep for a Yorkshireman.

By that time, who cares.

well in theory not... but maybe in practice you can...
there are more electrical properties...of an coil.. 1 is resistance...
the other is the relation in turns ratio..
the other is the induction...
and the induction is a important one because it locks the dwell time...
the cpu of your bike is programmed at optimum with that dwell time (time to charge the coil)
so its possible that when changing coils
the coill will burnout/give a weak spark..
anyway do it on all the pistons... and not only on one... (unbalance)
Tks
p.s. i would pay the 70pounds or repair the cracks...

I've put a bit of insulating tape round for now, but only one layer as they will not fit in the hole with any more.
Found a full set of three on flea bay for £40, so i think i will go for them.

You could seal up the cracks with Araldite, which has excellent electrical properties. Not sure about the long-term effect of engine heat tho.
